I don't mean necessarily that Jesus should rule us, just be a perfect example for us. He didn't want to rule us either, because he recognized that all glory was supposed to go to God.
A person is ruled by Jesus or by satan. Jesus is the King of kings. Jesus is more than just
a good example.
Joh 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest
that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear
witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
Joh 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. (2) The same was in the beginning with God. (3) All things were made by him; and without him

Rev 19:11-16 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was
called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. (12) His eyes were as a
flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but

earth, and things under the earth;
